What is the Michael King method of teaching Pilates?
Besides learning the original goals and traditional exercises of Joseph Pilates’ work, the Michael King method draws on up to date anatomical and physiological research and applies it to the Pilates technique. MK have been delivering Pilates teacher training since 1995. Our courses were among the very first Pilates teacher training in the UK and became the basis for the UK Pilates Mat Teacher qualification. MK Pilates is a founder member of The Society for the Pilates Method https://thesocietyforthepilatesmethod.com/ we provide an internationally recognised qualification which greatly exceeds the current basic UK level 3 standards. We specialise in enabling the participants in our classes to achieve great results from Pilates. Follow the link to explore the MK method of Pilates education
MK Matwork Teacher Certificate
You will have 100 hours of face to face tutor time when you study for the MK Pilates Matwork Diploma, typically we work together at weekends over a period of 6 months. Expect your home study hours to be 125 hours minimum, including personal practice. Home assignments are completed at your own pace, in your own time, Patricia is on hand to help if you need it. After our face to face teaching time, we expect that you will take a further 3 months to fully complete the assignments and be confident to teach your exam class, but that can vary according to your commitments. Some students take longer, it depends on you and your own learning style. Group teaching practice is arranged ad hoc, whenever you or the tutor feel the time is right. You will have one year to complete and submit your course materials and videos for assessment.
On the course you will study the traditional classical movements as well as contemporary or ‘evolved’ styles and learn how to adapt and modify to ‘best fit’ the needs of both the individual client and group class participants. MK classes have a typical ‘flow’ which our clients love , making the class feel like a smooth transition from one exercise to the next.
The course price is £2550, inclusive of all teaching materials and manuals. Payable in 3 instalments by arrangement.
